  1. First knock down Behemoth because routes out of bound and routes to Behemoth room almost overlap. This allows you to reduce suspend once, so you don't have to move to the Behemoth room for that. Improved over 1000 Frames.
  2. Speed Up knock down keremet before getting. This is about 120 Frames faster.
  3. Don't get Owl Marph with Dark Academy.This is because Push Cube and Strength Glove become unnecessary and it is no longer necessary to precede Sandy Grave.
  4. Don't use the route suspended by City of Haze. This is because Push Cube is no longer needed. But for this you cann't get Moonwalkers. This is affected especially by Nest of Evil, but it is early to compare.
  5. I will postpone Sandy Grave as described above. This is because it became possible to use Toad Morph to acquire Sanctuary. Instead, knock down Stella, Death first. It opens Forest of Doom and adds High Tonic to shop.
  6. From the relationship of item use, Knock Down in the order of Dagon, Region. In Forest of Doom of Dagon Knock Down, using the new out of bounds route, Push Cube and Strength Glove became unnecessary. This completely eliminates the need for Push Cube and Strength Glove.
  7. From the relationship of Final Sword equipment knock down in order of Nest of Evil, Astarte. The later route is the same as before

Attack method

・Multiple hits glitch is a glitch in which four or more kinds of invisibility are superimposed on enemies and attacks of the fourth and subsequent ones are hit continuously. This memory address varies depending on the enemy. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate accordingly. Below is an example of True Dracura.
AddressSizeDescription
021010052 bytesTrue Dracura invisibility 1
021010062 bytesTrue Dracura invisibility 2
021010072 bytesTrue Dracura invisibility 3
When invisibility 1, 2 and 3 is 1 or more, the fourth and subsequent attacks multiple hits.This time I improved chara change at this multiple hits. In addition, I improved by using multiple hits of Jonathan alone in Whip's Memory.

Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: Interesting change of route - it's nice to see the new strategy show off some new moves. The rest of the run is just filled with more crazy fast action and ludicrously quick boss battles, as usual. Accepting as an improvement to the published movie.
Spikestuff: Publishing.

Glad to see an improvement to one of the most majestic movie in existence. Yes vote. Have you considered using a dirty SRAM and do the run on hard mode? In such case, would beating the game once with any% route under lv1 mode to get Konami Man and then restarting it on a lower difficulty(you will keep weapons and speed up spell in the new game+) to fight all bosses be faster?

As the last one, absolutely crazy run. Seeing Behemoth done first was cool and unexpected, and the rest of the run is as insane as usual.

Me too, didn't expect Behemoth will be beaten first. The route has been changed since the beginning. I like both runs now.

Screenshot suggestion: Alternatively, single screen with Behemoth:
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

This one looks great. Would be better if it is a single screen.

I like the double screen because it shows how messed up the world map is, with the routes that are taken in it. But yeah, either with or without works.
